Limit Line Length

You may want to limit the string returned

length

An integer that represented the number of characters the line will have.

addEllipsis

A boolean that will add an ... to the end of the line

includeAddressAttributes

An array of attributes that will be included in the result. This is a good way to filter out parts of the address that are not needed.

deDuplicate

A boolean that will result in the data being de-duplicated. Currently this will only de-duplicate by city and state

An Example

orderByState

A string that will let you pick which state to put at the beginning of the data

orderByState: 'MD'

stringDelimiter

This will delimit each address in the line

stringDelimiter: ' | '
